Hinting at the possible delay in elections, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Governor Haji Ghulam Ali has said that he does not see the conduct of polls in the province within the stipulated time frame of three months, a private TV channel reported. During an interaction with journalists on Friday, the governor said, “Some 400 tribal elders have requested him that elections should be held after three to four months.” He added: “If a province demands to conduct census first or intelligence agencies advise to postpone elections then how will the elections be held?” According to the governor, a tribal jirga – comprising 400 elders belonging to merged districts – demanded the conduct of a census before holding the general elections. Ghulam Ali also raised a question if former KP chief minister Mahmood Khan could run the election campaign in his constituency during the prevailing situation. Referring to the terror attacks on police and rising terrorism in the province, the governor asked if elections could be held in Waziristan, Bannu and Lakki Marwat.
